Liverpool is showing strong signs of a comeback in the 2023/24 season. The Reds have made an impressive start, with 4 wins and 1 draw in their first 5 matches, accumulating 13 points and currently sitting in 3rd place, closely trailing Manchester City.
Despite not having the most flawless squad, Liverpool has looked remarkably different under the guidance of German coach Jurgen Klopp. The team has found essential stability and is now considering a plan to secure the futures of key players, particularly those attracting attention from top European clubs.
According to sources from the 90min newspaper, right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold is on the verge of agreeing to a new contract with Liverpool. The club is eager to ensure the future of their star player and has rebuffed interest from Real Madrid and Barcelona.
The same source indicates that Alexander-Arnold is set to earn approximately £250,000 per week with his new contract. Since making his Premier League debut seven years ago, he has made 277 appearances in all competitions for Liverpool. The English player is valued at around €65 million.
Arnold may have his contract extended with Liverpool in the near future
Over the years, Trent Alexander-Arnold has consistently been Jurgen Klopp’s first choice. He has made significant contributions to Liverpool’s overall playing style, particularly in the offensive aspects of the game.
Despite playing as a full-back, the 24-year-old possesses exceptional attacking abilities. His precise passing skills make him one of the top creators of scoring opportunities for Liverpool.
The decision to extend Alexander-Arnold’s contract reflects Coach Klopp’s continued belief in his protege. Although there have been instances when he made costly mistakes leading to goals, he has been viewed differently by many fans since then.
The British star has undoubtedly faced considerable pressure, but this new contract could mark a return of his confidence.
